2.1 QuickConfig Message
2.1.1 Color Code (COLORCODE)
Description
System Parameters
This chapter describes the parameters related to the QuickConfig Message and the SectorParametersMessage.
This parameter is an 8-bit binary number used to identify a subnet and is effective for a DO network only. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOQCM/ADD DOCS/MOD DOCS Query: LST DOQCM Delete: RMV DOCS Value Range 0255 Default Value
0, which must be set according to the actual case. Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks SectorID104 uniquely identifies a subnet. To save air interface resources, the protocol uses an 8-bit color code to replace SectorID104. The relation between SectorID104 and the color code is specified by the MOD DOCS command. Figure 2-1 shows the mapping between UATIs and color codes.
Modify: MOD DOQCM Query: LST DOQCM Value Range The value is a hexadecimal numeral that contains up to 6 bits. If the value contains less than 6 bits, digits with a value equal to zero are added to the beginning to obtain a total of 6 bits. Default Value It is set according to the actual case. Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks One AN can be configured with multiple subnets and can be identified by the 128-bit SectorID. The SectorID is sent in the system message QCM.
Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks DO redirection can be used for network reselection but can cause the AT to drop from the network. Therefore, do not use this function with caution.
2.2 SectorParametersMessage
2.2.1 Subnet Mask (SUBNETMASK)
Description This parameter is a string of binary bits used to obtain the subnet ID so as to determine whether the AT spans the subnet. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOSPM Query: LST DOSPM Value Range 0104 Default Value It is set according to the actual network setting. Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks The AT obtains the SectorID128 and the Subnet Mask of the current sector from the system message, and then performs the "AND" calculation to obtain the address of the subnet to which the current sector belongs.
This parameter is set according to the time zone of the system. Remarks None.
In the calculation formula, xL refers to the longitude of the sector where the AT sends the Route Update message, yL indicates the latitude of the sector where the AT sends the Route Update message, xC indicates the longitude of the current sector that provides coverage for the AT, yC indicates the latitude of the current sector that provides coverage for the AT, pi indicates the circumference ratio, and indicates rounding down. xL and yL are measured in 1/4 seconds.
An AT in DORO mode cannot read the extended frequency list. An AT in DORA mode needs to merge the default frequency list with the extended frequency list and then select the frequency that it will camp on from the merged frequency list using the HASH algorithm.
It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOSPM Query: LST DOSPM Value Range YES (Included), NO (Excluded) Default Value NO Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks The AT merges the default frequency list and the extended frequency list into a new frequency list. If AccessHashingChannelMaskLstIncluded is set to 0, the set of available frequencies is the current frequency list. If AccessHashingChannelMaskLstIncluded is set to 1, the AT performs the "AND" calculation using the negotiation parameter AccessHashingClassMas and the AccessHashingChannelMask of all frequencies, and selects the frequencies that have the most "1" in the results of the "AND" calculation as the set of available frequencies. In this way, different ATs can camp on different frequencies.
Value Range The mask range is 065535; the frequency range is 02047 Default Value 0 Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks None.
None.
2.2.10 Maximum Duration of the Route Update Trigger Code Timer (RouteUpdateTriggerMaxAge)
Description
This parameter indicates the longest time that the trigger code list can be kept in the route update trigger code list. When an entity stays in the route update trigger list for more than 2^(RouteUpdateTriggerMaxAge) *.28, the entity is deleted from the route update trigger code list. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOSPM Query: LST DOSPM Value Range 015 Default Value 0 Setting Tradeoff When the value of this parameter is too large, the items (Subnet, RouteUpdateTriggerCode) are kept for a long time and it is difficult to add a Better item (Subnet, RouteUpdateTriggerCode) to the list. When the value of this parameter is too small, however, the AT frequently sends the RUM message and the items (Subnet, RouteUpdateTriggerCode) are frequently updated, causing a heavier CPU load. Remarks See the description of RouteUpdateTriggerCode.
Modify: MOD DOSPM Query: LST DOSPM Value Range YES (Included), NO (Excluded) Default Value NO (Excluded) Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks None.

3.1 Control Channel Parameters
Description
Channel Parameters
This parameter specifies the rate of the control channels of carriers. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOCCHP Query: LST DOCCHP Value Range RATE76K8 (76.8kbps), RATE38K4 (38.4kbps) Default Value RATE76K8 (76.8 kbps) Setting Tradeoff The Control Channel data rate is a tradeoff between a more robust Control Channel and reducing the number of slots needed for transmission of Control Channel information. A
38.4kbps data rate provides a more reliable Control Channel since it uses a repetition factor of 9.6 versus a repetition factor of 4.8 for the 76.8kbps rate. A Control Channel rate of 76.8kbps requires only 8 slots for a 1024 bit physical layer packet, while the 38.4kbps rate requires 16 slots for the same packet. The reduction in the number of Control Channel Slots needed for a 76.8kbps rates allows those slots to be used for user traffic, thus improving overall data throughput. A Control Channel Rate of 76.8 kbps is usually sufficiently reliable for ATs that support dual receive diversity. Remarks The control channel preamble uses the MAC index to represent the rate used by a control channel packet. Table 3-1 lists the mapping between MAX indexes and control channel rates.
Table 3-1 Mapping between control channel rates and MAC indexes MACIndex 2 3 Control Channel Rate 76.8 kbps 38.4 kbps CCH Packet Format (1024, 8, 512) (1024, 16, 1024)
Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOCCHP Query: LST DOCCHP Value Range 03 in the unit of timeslots
Default Value 0 Setting Tradeoff Using variable Offsets prevents the Control Channel synchronous capsule of one sector from interfering with the Control Channel synchronous capsule of another sector with a different Offset. Control Channel Offset should be planned such that topographically adjacent sectors should have different values. This way simultaneous Control channel transmissions from adjacent sectors would be avoided and raising the interference levels to all sectors would be avoided as well. Remarks The AN should transmit MAC layer packets of a synchronous capsule on the control channel in the following ways 1. 2. The transmission of the first MAC layer is started at the time T. T meets the following equation T mod 256 = Offset. The transmission of the rest MAC layer packets of the synchronous capsule is started at the first T after the previous packet is transmitted. T meets the following equation T mod 4 = Offset. Here, T is the CDMA system time in the unit of timeslots. The offset is the specified Offset value in the control channel capsule header of the first control channel MAC layer packet in the synchronous capsule.
Query: LST DOAPM Value Range SLOT8 (8 TIMESLOTS), SLOT16 (16 TIMESLOTS), SLOT32 (32 TIMESLOTS), SLOT64 (64 TIMESLOTS), SLOT128 (128 TIMESLOTS) Default Value SLOT64 (64 TIMESLOTS). Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set too low, the access terminal will send access probes more frequently. This may result in insufficient time diversity between the access probes, resulting in larger number of access probes and higher reverse link interference. If the parameter is set too large, then the access terminal would have to wait longer before sending access probes, resulting in a longer connection setup time. Remarks None.
2 Setting Tradeoff If the parameter is set too low, then the access network may not be able to reliably detect the access probes, requiring the access terminal to transmit larger number of access probes causing additional reverse link interference. A low setting may also impact resources at the base station since additional CSM resources may be required to detect shorter preambles. If set too high, Access Channel capacity is wasted as a smaller preamble size would have been sufficient. Remarks None.
This parameter defines the power correction factor of the first access probe in the access probe sequence. It is used with AT Open Loop Power Estimation (OLOOPADJUST) to calculate the average open loop output power. For details, see the description of OLOOPADJUST. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOAPM Query: LST DOAPM Value Range -16 to 15 in the unit of dB Default Value 0 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set too low, then the access terminal would transmit the access probes at a very low power, and the access network may not be able to reliably detect them. As a result, the loading on the Access Channel would be higher with a consequently increased probability of collisions. If this parameter is set too high, then the access terminal would transmit the access probes at a very high power, causing unnecessary interference. Remarks None.
Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOAPM Query: LST DOAPM Value Range 115 Default Value 5 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set too low, the access terminal may send too few probes to be reliably detected by the access network, resulting in unnecessarily failed or delayed access attempts. If this parameter is set too high, reverse link interference will be increased. A high setting also may also impact the performance of a hybrid AT since the AT will not tune away to the 1x network during the access attempt. Remarks PWRSTEP and PRBNUMSTEP are correlated and need to be set together.
This parameter defines the increase in power between successive probes within the same sequence, in resolution of 0.5 dB. The AT sends the pilot channel of the (i)th access probe in an access probe sequence using the power X0 + (i-1)* PowerStep. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOAPM Query: LST DOAPM Value Range 0-15 in 0.5 dB Default Value 8 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set too low, then the access terminal may need to send more access probes, resulting in an increased loading on the Access Channel and a consequent increased probability of collisions. If this parameter is set too high, then there will be a higher probability of the access probes being detected at the expense of increased interference on the reverse link. Remarks None.
Query: LST DOAPM Value Range Hexadecimal numerals with equal to or smaller than two digits. The maximum value is 0x3F, at which the access is forbidden. Default Value 0x00 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set lower than the recommended value (i.e. set to 0), then the access terminal would always pass the persistence test. This reduces the randomness in the access procedure, and may result in more collisions. If this parameter is set too high, then it would be harder for the access terminal to pass the persistence test, leading to unnecessarily long access delays. Remarks Before the first probe of a sequence is sent, the AT must detect persistence. An even distribution random number x (0 < x < 1) is generated. Compare x to the persistence possibility p. If x < p, detection succeeds. If the number of persistence detection success or failure times exceeds 4/p, the AT can be sent within the access channel cycle. If p is not equal to 0, the AT must repeat the preceding persistence detection from the beginning of next access channel cycle. If p is equal to 0, the AT cannot access the network.
Default Value ON(ON) Setting Tradeoff In an area where pilot pollution is severe, the access macro diversity function can be enabled to improve the access probability. Remarks The access macro diversity function refers to establishing multiple branches for the AT so that the AT directly enters the soft handoff status.
Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOAPM Query: LST DOAPM Value Range kbps96 (9.6 kbps), kbps192 (19.2 kbps), kbps384 (38.4 kbps) Default Value kbit/s384 (38.4 kbps) Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set to a value too large, the access rate of the access channel is improved but reverse interference increases and the capacity is reduced. If this parameter is set to a value too small, data can be split into multiple MAC packets before it is sent and the access time is prolonged. Remarks To send data on an access channel, the AT must do the following 1. Determine the maximum transmission rate.
2. Determine the final transmit rate according to the payload of the maximum transmission rate and the actual data size. The actual data size must be equal to or greater than the minimum payload size of the selected transmission rate and equal to or smaller than the maximum payload. The following table lists the mapping between transmission rates and payload.
Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOAPM Query: LST DOAPM Value Range DB0(0dB), DB 1(1dB), DB 2(2dB), DB3(3dB)1, Default Value DB0 (0 dB) Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set to a low value, the open loop power estimate is insufficient when the pilot interference increases. The access delay increases, and an access failure may occur. Remarks None. DB4(4dB), DB5(5dB) in the unit of dB
DB0(0dB), DBN 1(-1dB), DBN 2(-2dB), DBN 3(-3dB), DBN 4(-4dB), DBN 5(-5dB) in the unit of dB Default Value DB0 (0 dB) Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set to a high value, the open loop power estimate is too large when the pilot strength is reduced. The reverse interference increases. Remarks None.
Default Value 8 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set low, the AT can quickly react to reverse link changes detected by the AN. If this parameter is set high, the ATs response time is slower, but results in less ROT variations. Remarks The RAB is transmitted through the RA channel which is the sub-channel of forward Medium Access Control (MAC) channel. The allocated MAC Index of the RA channel is 4.
Different values are allocated for adjacent sectors. The default value is 0. Setting Tradeoff Distinct RAB Offsets on adjacent sectors minimizes oscillations, which can occur if neighboring sectors decrease rate (RAB=1) at the same time and then all increase rate (RAB=0) at the same time. Avoiding synchronization of the AT rate changes lowers variations in ROT, which may lead to increased capacity and stability. Remarks RABLength and RABOffset are no longer used in an EV-DO RevA system.

Description
Handoff Parameters
This parameter indicates the maximum number of branches in the active set for soft handoff. Type It is a parameter at module level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOHO Query: LST DOHO Value Range 26 Default Value 3 Setting Tradeoff
If this parameter is set to a large value, the transmission performance of the reverse link of a single AT is improved but fewer subscribers can be supported in the system. If this parameter is set to a small value, the transmission performance of the reverse link of a single AT degrades but more subscribers can be supported in the system. Remarks None.
4.1.2 Whether to Allow a Soft Handoff in the Case of Different Active Sets (DIFFASSWITCH)
Description This parameter indicates whether to trigger soft handoff when the active set of the AT is different from the active set of the AN. Type It is a parameter at module level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOHO Query: LST DOHO Value Range YES (ALLOWED), NO (PROHIBITED) Default Value YES (ALLOWED) Setting Tradeoff If the active set of the AT is different from the active set of the AN and soft handoff is not permitted, handoff can be delayed or call drop can be caused. Remarks None.
Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD NBRPARA Query: LST NBRPARA Value Range 4 chips, 6 chips, 8 chips, 10 chips, 14 chips, 20 chips, 28 chips, 40 chips, 60 chips, 80 chips, 100 chips, 130 chips, 160 chips, 226 chips, 320 chips, 452 chips Default Value 60 chips Setting Tradeoff If the parameter is set too low, usable multipath may be missed. In addition, the interrupt frequency (by fingers declaring the end of search) is increased, thereby affecting the performance of the access terminal. If the parameter is set too high, the access terminal searcher may pick up pilots other than the intended one. In addition, a high setting requires longer search time, unnecessarily impacting performance. Remarks For the pilots in the active set, the AT centers the search window on the earliest usable multipath. Each pilot in the neighbor set uses the timing defined by AT time reference. The AT can center the search window on the pilot PN sequence offset plus the search window offset defined in the NeighborSearchWindowOffset field.
Modify: MOD NBRPARA Query: LST NBRPARA Value Range YES, NO Default Value NO Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks None.
Table 4-1 Search window offset coding SearchWindowsOffset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Offset (PN Chips) 0 WindowSize26/2 WindowSize 3*WindowSize/2 -WindowSize/2 -WindowSize -3*WindowSize/2 Spare
Default Value 0 Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks NSRCHWINOFFSET and NSRCHWINSIZE determine the center of the search window.
Query: LST DONBRPARA Value Range YES, NO Default Value NO Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks None.
Setting Tradeoff See the description of NSRCHWINSIZE. Remarks See the description of NSRCHWINSIZE.
Type It is a parameter at subrack level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOSDUPARA Query: LST DOSDUPARA Value Range 110 in seconds Default Value 3 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set to a value too small, the success rate of soft handoff can be lowered. If this parameter is set to a value too large, the system waiting time can increase. Remarks None.
4.4 Intra-AN Hard Handoff (Parameters Related to EV-DO Intra-Frequency Hard Handoff)
4.4.1 EV-DO Intra-Frequency Hard Handoff Switch (SFDOHHOSW)
Description This parameter indicates whether to enable EV-DO intra-frequency hard handoff. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOPHOALG
Query: LST DFNBRPARA Value Range ON (ON), OFF (OFF) Default Value OFF (OFF) Setting Tradeoff None. Remarks None.
Setting Tradeoff If the value of this parameter is smaller, it is easier to trigger co-frequency hard handoff. Remarks None.
4.4.4 Handoff Threshold of the Target Carrier Handoff of the Intra-frequency Hard Handoff (TRGABSTHRESH)
Description
This parameter defines the signal strength of the target cell for triggering co-frequency hard handoff. Type It is a parameter at carrier level. Command Line Modify: MOD DOHHOSF Query: LST DORRMP Value Range 0 to 63 in -0.5 dB Default Value 4 Setting Tradeoff If this parameter is set to a value too small, co-frequency hard handoff can be easily triggered but the radio environment of the AT cannot be guaranteed after the handoff. If this parameter is set to a value too large, co-frequency hard handoff is hard to trigger but the radio environment of the AT can be guaranteed after the handoff. Remarks None.
